Coffee kōrero for potential female candidates in 2019 local elections

25% of our current city council are female, so in an attempt to address that in 2019, I'm organising a casual meeting to talk about barriers women may have standing in a local election and possible solutions/support. If you, or someone you know may be interested in putting their name forward next year or if you'd like to support the kaupapa - please get in touch for more details. The meeting is at 12pm Thursday the 22nd - central city venue TBA.

You can read a little more about where I'm coming from, in my blog kellifromthetron.co.nz...

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
